Search public Eventbrite events from an AI agent

Eventbrite's own API stopped offering public event search in 2020. Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own agent live Eventbrite event search through one MCP server. Free $10 to start.

Reading this with an agent?

This page as plain text: /docs/eventbrite.md. A summarising fetch tool paraphrases long pages, so for code to copy exactly, fetch it raw: curl -s https://bowmark.ai/docs/eventbrite.md. The whole site as one file: https://bowmark.ai/llms-full.txt. Index of every page: https://bowmark.ai/llms.txt.

Bowmark is an MCP server your agent can call to search public Eventbrite events. Ask in plain language ("AI meetups in San Francisco this week") and the agent gets typed results back: event name, start time, venue, city and the ticket page link.

Why this page exists

Eventbrite turned off public event search in its own API in February 2020. The API still manages the events you organize, but it cannot answer "what is on in Austin this weekend". Most Eventbrite connectors wrap that API, so they have the same gap. Bowmark searches the public listings directly.

What your agent can do

Search events by keyword and city, with optional start and end dates.
Read one event in full, plus its venue and organizer.
Search across sites at once: the same call also covers Eventim, merged into one list.

In a test on 2026-11-04, a search for "AI" in San Francisco returned 22 Eventbrite events in 4.1 seconds. The full list of sites is on Providers.

Honest results

Every search returns a warnings list. If a site did not answer, the agent is told which one, so it never mistakes a partial answer for the whole list.

FAQ

Can the Eventbrite API search public events? Not since February 2020. It only manages events you organize. Bowmark searches the public listings.

Does it need an Eventbrite account? No. Search and event details are public. Saving events or registering for one uses your own Eventbrite account.

Does it show ticket prices? Eventbrite rows link to the ticket page. Read one event in full for its details.

What does it cost? Free $10 of usage to start, then pay as you go. See Pricing.
